Red cyno

[Terry Mattson]

I look at the tank and see so much progress. Lps corals doing great. Fish growing, including mandarin. However, battling cyno, some rocks, but sand is covered 70%. Tank is 8 months old. 73 gallon plus 19 sump. This started 2 months ago. Phosphate..03. Nitrates about 5ppm. Ready to try chem-clean? Experience using chen-clean???? Advise?

Just curious, what are you using to test Nitrate?

1. What do you have going in for flow?

2. Chem clean works well IMO but make sure to boost up flow and O2 as much as you can. Skimmer will probably go crazy.

I use hanna low range for phosphate. And API for nitrate. Have a refugium. H380 light for refugium. Pull a pint out a week.

Would place small bowl over skimmer so I let it bubble. And add air stone (wood) some place in sump.
